Bangkok Art & Culture Centre

" The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is a prominent venue in Bangkok dedicated to contemporary art, culture, and creative expression. It hosts exhibitions, performances, and events related to art, music, theatre, film, and design. It is also home to cafés, galleries, bookstores, and a library, making it a hub for both local and international cultural exchange. Since its opening in 2008, BACC has attracted millions of visitors, with numbers increasing significantly over the years. The idea for the BACC began in the 1990s, with plans developed under the leadership of Bangkok Governor Dr. Bhichit Rattakul. The project faced delays, but after support from future governor Apirak Kosayodhin, the building's design and development moved forward. The centre aims to provide a space for cultural dialogue, nurturing creativity and collaboration within the local and international art communities. The architectural design of BACC focuses on creating flexible, airy spaces with a central atrium, honoring both Thai culture and modern functionality. The centre is open from Tuesday to Sunday, offering free admission, and continues to play a vital role in Bangkok's vibrant cultural scene."

"BACC is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free. To reach the BACC, take the skytrain to the Stadium National stop; the center is located at the Pathumwan Intersection."

"Temporary Art lover or not, anyone can appreciate a quiet stroll here in the afternoon, then maybe sitting down in a café."
